Versatility
BZBGEAR Joystick Camera Controllers offer precise control of PTZ cameras, greatly simplifying camera operation. Even single-camera systems benefit from the ease of use provided by a joystick controller. With the ability to recall presets at the touch of a button and control camera movement with precision, these devices are perfect for those seeking an easy-to-use PTZ camera controller. Joysticks are currently the best option for remote camera control.
Simplicity
PTZ control involves managing a PTZ camera's pan, tilt, and zoom functions. These cameras can pan horizontally, tilt vertically, and zoom in and out. A PTZ controller allows for remote management of these camera operations. Our joystick controllers, as mentioned earlier, offer more than just basic pan, tilt, and zoom control.
What is PTZ Control - for Beginners
PTZ control involves managing a PTZ camera's pan, tilt, and zoom functions. These cameras can pan horizontally, tilt vertically, and zoom in and out.

What’s the Difference between Serial and IP?
Serial is a physical connection that sends data at a bit level using a serial communication protocol. IP (Ethernet) is the most common way to connect devices to a local area network (LAN) and serves as the transmission mechanism. Most of our joysticks support both serial and IP functions, each with its own benefits.
MANAGE MULTIPLE CAMERAS
BZBGEAR Joystick Controllers enable a single user to effectively operate multiple PTZ cameras. Seamlessly switch between cameras and angles with powerful preset functions. Make color corrections and exposure adjustments on the fly with dedicated white balance and iris controls. Setting up your joystick controller is simple with our easy-to-follow manual included in every package.
WORK EFFICIENTLY
Adding a joystick controller to your production allows users of all skill levels to take control of your PTZ cameras. Our simple and effective controllers enable entry-level volunteers to operate cameras, freeing up technical staff for more demanding tasks and increasing overall productivity.
